> I don't really see why we shouldn't have programs like this if there is vetting

We should, but the program shouldn't be named after a current president. Note that it's an official .gov site, not a .com site.

Also, the payment should of course go to the Treasury, not to Trump or his party.

Same president that had to have his signature on the government issued Covid relief checks.

The payments are not going to Trump, personally. They're probably not going to the government, either; I bet this becomes like the EB-5 investor visa, where you make certain kinds of investments within the US. I admit that the text on the website doesn't make this clear, though.

Text explicitly calls it "donation". By definition that is not an investment.
